In Case of S. D. Brown

State of New York Genesee County ss. On the eighth day of February One thousand eight hundred and twenty two personally appeared before me Chauncy L. Sheldon Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas in and for said county. Ephraim Brown to me known to be a practising Physician and Surgeon of good character & reputation, who being by me duly sworn, saith on his oath says
That he is acquainted with Simon Disbrow a pensioner of the United States. That on an ex- amination he finds the said Simon laboring under an inguinal hernia on both sides, which in a great measure must, disqualify him from manual labor. —
Also that he has been called to attend the Daughter of the said Simon, who is now con- fined with a putridity complaint, and is not likely to recover speedily.
Sworn and subscribed the Eighth day of February A.D. 1822 —
